    Tartan Identification needed.



    Hey all, been a long since posting, but I've been curious about this tartan.

    Given the man in the middle is the late Lord Strathmore, Michael Bowes-Lyon, thus the previous chief of Clan Lyon I can only assume that the piper's tartan is that of Clan Lyon. It certainty looks like it is, but as I've never seen a Lyon tartan in person I would love to get some other opinions or confirmations. Below is an image of the Lyon tartan.

    The piper in the photo is wearing Hunting Macrae in the Ancient color scheme:

    Thanks for the feedback, guys.

    Since the general consensus is that this isn't the Lyon tartan does any one have knowledge of where one might be found? Yes, yes, I have tried all the obvious location and search options.

    You will have to have it custom-woven.

    Hah I should've specified I ment an image with an already made kilt with the Lyon tartan. Although thanks for these alternatives, I had only found it Scotweb and Heritage of Scotland previously.
